Job Title : Associate Scientist, mRNA Platform Process Development

Duration : 12 Month Contract (Possible extension based on work performance)

Location : Seattle, WA

Onsite Position

ABOUT ROLE : Top Skills :

• Hands-on experience with the downstream purification of biological molecules (AKTA, chromatography, TFF, viral filtration, etc.)
• Experience with molecular cloning, PAGE, and agarose gels
• Experience working with, storing, and analyzing purified nucleic acids

Seeking a highly motivated Associate, or Sr. Associate, Scientist to work in a fast-paced PD environment applying rigorous scientific principles towards developing a platform process for producing mRNA. As a part of the Gene Delivery and Editing Process Development (GDEPD) organization, the ideal Associate will possess sufficient experience in the downstream process development of biological molecules, with a high preference for any experience with developing processes with nucleic acids. The Associate will also gain familiarity with mRNA analytical methods and their interpretation in the context of mRNA attributes and function in gene editing applications.

A successful Associate will directly employ purification principles and biochemistry techniques to develop our next-generation gene edited therapies. In this capacity, the Associate will produce, purify, and characterize mRNA molecules to enable robust ex vivo studies. This candidate will use recombinant enzymes to produce and functionalize mRNA, AKTA systems to purify mRNA via affinity and other chromatography methods, TFF to further purify and formulate mRNA, as well as use HPLCs and other biochemical analytical techniques for characterization. An outstanding candidate will be driven by a desire to create, optimize, and define processes with speed in a collaborative environment.
